Activation of Windows problems 7 and MSDN?

I bought windows 7 when it came out a few years ago in a store good local trust store and spend £200 + or it as well now. 6 months later, my PC got caught in a fire and was destroyed, and that recently, I managed to get a new blank computer to use again. After you have installed windows 7 on it, I can't activate the product key and would like a license from my old computer とらんすふぁ it. I have only 1 computer with this sofeware on it. I called the customer service who told me that I bought a MSDN (or something) Version of windows 7 ultimate and I'm not allowed to use it and that I should get intouch with the retailer and get his change. However last year, the retailer are closed because of problems and the company no longer exists, and microsoft refuses to help me to reactivate this key. IM 250 books pocket and have no idea what to do next. It is a 100% genuine Win 7 Ultimate version, however, that the * is this MSDN or else, why am not allowed to to use? Why they refuse a customer support after spending so much money on their production? The box is normal compleaty, no mention of this version of MSDN, and I can't find anywere on my computer to mention its a MSDN version. Please help what I do then. Its kind of hard to understand and deal with someone from customer support in Asia, which I can understand harly, he is just reading text on a screen and has no real notion of how help me. Help, please. Thank you

The store / retailer closed due to problems. Very probably closed for the installation of MSDN / Technet product keys on computers sold at retail use (more on that below).

"About MSDN or TechNet product key
They are genuine Microsoft product keys, they are in fact retail licenses, but it is expected for a product specific Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet channel for professionals who pay a subscription. The main objective is for evaluation purposes. The big thing to their subject, unlike Microsoft, MSDN or TechNet keys evaluation software expires. Because the agreement by virtue of which the subscription is provided is a single license, none of the software should be distributed outside of it. Although its $50,000 worth of licenses, it is for one person only for use and no one else. Unfortunately, no matter the conditions of license, people still abuse of the program, two key product gift or sell on auction sites. Microsoft it issues licences in good faith that customer will not do it, but I guess human nature win on.

In your case, what has probably happened is, you bought a license MSDN key, which carries up to 10 activations unlike packed full of retail licenses which carry 1 activation. The person who sold it to you probably sold to 10 other people. Somewhere along the way, one of these people could have installed on a second system activated, because it went past 10 activation threshold, Microsoft has detected that he was abused and blocked the key for later use. »

  • Tandberg TMS v13.2.1 - Activation of Windows problem

    Hey all,.

    Recently, we had a few problems with our TMS where we tried to RDP to it, he would immediately start us and we couldn't get in. We then tried KVM to the machine, there is no possibility to connect (screen, keyboard, and mouse were unresponsive). We decided to turn off the machine and it works. Once the aircraft came, we could RDP and connect again, however it came with a "Windows Activation required" screen. The TMS only has no internet so we cannot activate this way. I tried to activate windows via the automated phone system, but it gives us an error is not a valid product.

    The version of TMS is 13.2.1. It runs Windows Server 2008 SP1. Has anyone encountered this problem? And can I contact Microsoft or Cisco for this problem?

    Thank you

  • Activation of Windows problem just popped up

    Help... I have a Compaq Presario Desktop PC SR5710F March 2009 that worked very well.

    It has Window Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.

    Unexpectedly, in the lower right corner, he says now Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine

    In Control Panel-> system Panel, at the bottom, it has a section of Windows Activation.

    You must activate today. Activate windows now.

    Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX and change product key

    When we choose the "activate now", you get another jump to the top of table.

    Product key Windows Vista family premium you typed is invalid for activation

    and he gives three choices:

    • Buy a new product key online
    • Type a different product key
    • contact the HP company to help solve this problem (tried, but the system is out of warranty)

    Don't know what happened and why... Can not find the package of the system with an activation key CD (might not come with one, honestly don't remember as far behind). I don't want to do a full restore from the hard drive and go back to square 1. and do not want to buy another license of Vista for a burp of system.

    Any Suggestions?... Is it possible to contact HP on an output of the guarantee system for something like this addressed.

    Hello

    The unit does not include windows cd or DVD.

    Check if you have the sticker COST of windows on the chassis of the device, and then try to enter this product key.

    Have you tried to contact Microsoft and give them your key? See if you can get in touch with them.

    Let me know if you have the Certification of the authenticity of the COA for windows and if you were able to type the key.

  • Windows Installer + VSS + Windows problems in Windows 7 SP1 Activation

    I used this Windows 7 machine for 5 years now and has recently encountered several problems, which probably are closely linked:

    1. Windows installation problem
    Can't update programs, although new install if they do need Windows Installer to do. Most but not all Windows not updates install.

    2. the problem of volume shadow copy Service

    Failed to create system restore points. With VSS errors appear when I try to do. No previous restore point is available.

    3. Activation of Windows problem
    A pop up keeps appearing every 1 or 2 hours, saying that my computer is not running genuine Windows. Obviously nonsense since this PC was bought during the original Service Pack 1 of Windows 7 and I've never had a problem before.

    I searched a lot online to solve all these problems. I tried hundreds of possible solutions, but nothing has worked. I think that it is all caused by the same thing, but I am unable to find it.

    Ready to provide more information. Thanks in advance.

  • Not authentic "Windows" problem

    Story: My Dell Inspiron laptop has been running Windows Vista when initially purchased in 2009.   Dell has provided a free upgrade to Windows 7, and this upgrade went well several years ago.  Thus, the machine has been works well on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 for awhile.
    Don't know if this is important: a couple of months, I replaced the hard drive.   I did a backup/restore image for the operating system on the new drive.   I don't think that I was invited to return keys validation of Windows at this time here.   I had no problem and the machine worked well after the replacement of the hard disk.
    Now, all of a sudden I get a pop up window that says "this computer is not running genuine Windows.
    However, my Windows is genuine!
    I tried to solve the problem by installing the WindowsActivationUpdate.exe, but will not install.   I get the error message "update installation failed.   Information about the error - 0xC8000247
    I tried to get the Windows product key (from the sticker on the bottom of the laptop) via Control Panel/system/change the product key but it says invalid key!
    Something is clogged to the top, but I don't know what.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Thank you for your response.    I tried several related suggestions and more did not help.   That seems to have solved my problem of Windows Update is reinstalling the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver as suggested by george1009 in your third link above.

    As for my Activation of Windows problem, I typed in the wrong product key.  I entered the key on the sticker on the computer, but it is valid only for Windows Vista (original OS), but not for Windows 7 (current operating system).  I found that my Windows 7 upgrade disk envelope and who had the key valid on it.
    Thanks again for your help.

    When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

    KiranS Hello,

    Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?

    The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.

    I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    They told me to re install windows on a disc that they sent me.  So I have - and keep in mind that it is now the third time had to reinstall all the programs and windwos yet.

    Always have the same problem - cannot activate windows.

    Ring supoprt telling me that HP will provide me with a key proiduct and they will ring me back.

    I rang now 5 times and every time that I thought it was escaltred to level 2 and I'll be conatacted this day there with a response.

    Still, I had no call to phone back, windows always say must activate and I must deal with the blue activation scrteen every now and then.

    How to get the product key or even better someone who actually ring return me to the question I've been tild will happen and still does not.

    I read the other AIDS and have made what they say, and it does not work.

    I need this problem because it has now been more 1 week of frustration and poor customer service.

  • Problem in the activation of Windows 7

    I bought Windows 7 Original from a local dealer in Mumbai about three years back. It was installed on my computer, activated on line and works correctly. My computer HARD drive crashed almost a year back and I replaced the same with the new HARD drive. I reloaded Windows 7 that I had purchased, activated online. As a result, I downloaded free windows 10 installed and it did not work properly. On a few months back my computer HARD drive crashed again, I even replaced by a new. I started to reload Windows & from my original CD. It has been installed and working properly. However, I'm unable to activate online. It is in error and asking me to try another key that I don't have.  For this reason, I am unable to download and install Windows 10. Please confirm how to solve this problem?

    There is no need to reinstall Windows 7.

    When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows, what happened is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.

    Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.

    Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

    Step 1: How to download official Windows 10 ISO files

    Step 2: how: perform a clean installation of Windows 10

  • Activation of Windows and Windows Update

    I just finished rebuilding a computer of mine who went down because of a motherboard problem. After Installing Win 7 pro in the machine, I installed the drivers from the motherboard and drivers for network cards so I can download updates for windows. I have a valid key for Win 7 but when I try to activate Windows, it does not activate automatically, I have to enable the use of the phone. Activation takes more time but always succeeds, my problem is that when I get updates, I get only the first two updates, patches and update that 'fixed' Windows Update. After that, the computer will be sitting for hours waiting for the list of updates to download on the computer (I have a 100 Mbit connection to the internet) and when the list arrives, I select all updates and start the download. Then I wait... and wait... and wait... six hours or so later, when I check to see what's going down, I find that windows Update has CANCELLED all my updates and the message is that I should try again. This has happened at least a half dozen times in the last 4 days. I deleted the 'C' drive and reinstalled 3 times during this period. Whenever I have reinstall, it's fine. It's not until I try to do my updates that I have no problem.

    Just to make sure I was not doing anything wrong and to make sure that the key that I used was valid, I borrowed a Win 7 Ultimate disc from a friend who was not using the disc or the key. I installed using the disk and the key, but I'm always running into the SAME problem... No activation automatic, only activate by phone and the same problem with getting the updates from Microsoft. happens? I've been building and installing software on the computers of the years and I've NEVER had this great difficulty getting windows updated.

    I also need an answer to the question 'no activation via internet. Two Win 7 records with keys, we're Pro version, the other is the ultimate. What gives?

    I want to thank two people who gave me suggestions so far. The update KB 3138612 has helped me to get updates and download, but get this... when I installed updates and Windows was finished and I wanted to restart, I did and to restart the computer I had more a C"" drive. Windows could not find the file on the disk "C", so now I have to reinstall.

    * sigh *.

    one step forward and THREE steps back...

    After you have reinstalled (again), I got to the point where Windows gave me updates, so this time I decided to install some updates at the same time to see if it would happen again. I installed all the updates of .NET Framework with the exception of the most recent upgrade and decided to try balance updates to see if it would work.

    No, he didn't.

    So somewhere between 180 + updates is that hoops of my computer. I think I'll try for groups of 10 when you do updates so that I can whittle down of my reinstalls only three here on in... Once I find the update, then it will not be installed, and I hope that will solve the problem.

    You can try this option.

    These updates solve many problems with WU

    (1) disable Windows update

    (2) restart your computer

    (3) manually to install KB3138612 and KB3153199 and KB3145739

    (4) restart your computer

    (5) enabled Windows update

    Or you can install these updates http://wu.krelay.de/en/ but I think, that my 2 updates are ok.

    Honestly, it looks that your system needs a new reinstall of Windows 7. It should reinstall applications such as Microsoft Office and drivers for devices such as your scanner, printer. If you wish not to do this, follow these steps:

    Check your hard drive for errors:

    Click Start

    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

    Click on "Run as Administrator"

    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    then


    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow
    This will check for any breach of integrity

    Restart your system

    Also to perform a clean boot and see if things improve:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    You should also check to see if you have installed any rogue programs:

    Click Start, type: programs and features

    Press enter

    See the list and uninstall programs, you are sure that you may not be installed.
